Vintage Locomotive on Track Porcelain Limoges Box

A train locomotive sits on its own length of track, ready to pull out of the station, in this hand-painted porcelain Limoges box. It was made in Limoges, France, and it captures the romance of the rails.

All Aboard

For well over a century, the locomotive meant adventure, commerce and the promise of distant places. The engine and its section of track are painted by hand, so the colors and the fine details vary from one box to the next.

Station Platform Pairings

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• A classic subject for a train, railroad or travel collection
• Pairs with caboose, station clock and suitcase boxes

For the Railroad Crowd

It is a natural pick for a model railroader, a retired conductor or engineer, or someone who has ridden the great scenic routes through the Rockies or the Alps. It also makes a fun Father's Day present for a dad who still sets up the train under the Christmas tree. Railroad museum volunteers will appreciate it as well.

Set it on a mantel during the holidays, in a den beside model trains, or on a desk where the track gives it a sense of going somewhere. It is a small tribute to the age of steam and the people who kept it running.
